COYR.

Morning everyone! Tricky game this, with a new manager in-charge.
-
If we play to the same standard as v Peterborough, then we have a chance. Can't be a repeat of Wimbledon, even the text commentary statistician got bored!
If we play the ball to feet and be a little more ruthless around the box, we'll win.
-
Today's team, Copps on the Bench
-
How Liam Hoden thinks they'll line up
COYR
-
I expect that will be it, so the big question is, will Whiteman perform his defensive duties, and how much of an impact can Toffolo have?
I don't mind the line-up, like Kongolo getting a start and that Garratt hasn't lost his place after a good display last week, plus we have "game changers" in May and Copps on the bench. Only thing is I wish Houghton was fit enough to start as we just look so much more assured with him sitting in to the midfield.
-
I've got a feeling we're gunna score 4+ today..
-
I understand the changes but DF sees more in Mandeville than me Alfie would have started. Let's see if he proves me wrong. He's got to score sometime.
-
All seven on the bench could be starters on a different week. Good strength in depth!
-
The line up's ok, the players have just got to go out there and perform. There's ample back up on the bench if they don't.
I really hope they give us a performance today and show we're a force to be reckoned with.
-
I wonder what Alfie's not done to warrant being benched? After all, he has most goals so far and bundles of energy. The rest I agree with, except Blair can count himself lucky, based on his last few displays.
-
Anyone listnening on Ifollow? I've got commentary of the Preston match coming through?!
-
I guess fergie will use the first 11 to wear them out then unleash May copps and Williams or houghton
-

With the games we have in September, 7 counting Arsenal we will need the squad.
-
I got Preston match as well ????
-
What the
-
Nightmare start
-
Ffs
-
42 secs and they score can only get better
Sorry 22 seconds
COYR
-
22 seconds. Jesus wept
-
northampton scored after 22 secs!?!?!?
-
If you're going to concede may as well do it in the first minute.
Plenty of time to get back in the game
-
I got Preston match as well ????
Me too :crying:
-
IFOLLOW | We have spoken with our broadcasting partners Neulion to ensure the commentary issues are addressed. Thanks for patience #DRFC
Sick of showing patience
COYR
-
Touching the ball before retrieving the ball from the net might have helped!
Well, if they weren't switched on when the whistle went, they should be now!
-
northampton scored after 22 secs!?!?!?
And we kicked Off.

Priceless!

Getting Barnsley game WTF !
-
Plan B. Get Houghton on!
-
A bit early don't you think
-
I'm demanding an extra two weeks on my subscription for this, maybe 1 month is more reasonable.
Sorted now. Reply on the chat help was "the club provide you with commentary not iFollow "
-
Got the Rovers player commentary now
COYR
-
Anyone know how the game's going?
-
Losing 1-0, and the Lino has got an injury
COYR
-
I wondered why BBC had been stuck on 12 minutes.
-
Other than the early goal it's like the Wimbledon game
-
Except for three attempts for us just now.

Still 12 minutes on BBC so they are keeping it secret.

How did the goal come about?

They have done it now but thanks anyway.

Cheers. That's a bit better!
-
Whitman booked but we have shot up to 56% possession from 41 after 12 minutes.
-
We look a yard slower all over the pitch
-
As suggested earlier, I bet DF is itching to get Houghton on. Change at H/T ?

Sounds like DF will be giving them all a right bollocking at HT
-
Worrying comment from Filo when you consider what games we have this month!
-
Hope DF has got his dads hair dryer with him
COYR
-
We've some good options with the subs. I expect a couple of changes to come sooner rather than later, partly for an injection of passion/belief and partly for tactics.
Sounds dire, and getting worse.

A GoT dragon wouldn't be over stepping the mark by the sounds of it.
-
We've been awful this half
-
I'm just hoping Northampton have shot their load this half. Enthusiasm beyond fitness. We've just got to chill, keep it simple and frustrate them, chances will come.
-
If all we have is hope then we are f**ked worst team in the league so far and we are losing and not had a meaningful chance
-

Well the chances never came that half, we look lethargic, and are giving the ball away a lot

Today's attendance is 5,843 with 736 away supporters. Thank you for your support

Dog shit this. Fergie really needs to get them motivated at half-time.
-
Not connecting as a team. Northampton obviously have new manager impetus and are more eager but they have little quality. Rovers have a huge gap between midfield and the forwards. We miss Copps.
Toffolo hasn't shown much.
We seem to be relaying on hoofing it up to JM as there are no runners in the channels at all.
Rowe seems off it. Mandy pretty anonymous.
We just seem slack overall. Dave is giving it a go but he's one player. Midfield is largely awol.
We have enough quality to win this but harsh words needed.
-
Right I've paid , got confirmation and can't get anything to say I'm pissed off is to put it mildly .
-
Rovers are making one change at the break, with James Coppinger coming on for Harry Toffolo. 1-0 #DRFC

You can't watch the game if you're in the UK. Read the terms.

Still need another change for me but it's a start.
Any improvement?
-
Houghton about to come on
COYR
-
Houghton getting ready to come on
-
Need to get a goal soon if we want to win
-
I'd get Alfie into the game soon as well!
-
Houghton and May for Garrett and Mandeville
COYR

Good change now come on let's get the goal

That's through a Vpn which isn't guaranteed to work.

Any sign of getting back into it?

Much better. Pushing for a goal. Get one and I think we win it.

10 mins to go and it's just not gonna happen is it
-
Just not happening for us today.
-
Well it took us an hour to get to our preferred starting XI.
-
Not good so far but what's with that start? Next Saturday's home game looking important now.

The idea of ifollow is for overseas supporters to watch games. If you've paid and you're in the UK and can't get it working, that's the risk you take.
-
Not going to happen is it
-
Have Northampton had a shot this half? We really should get one here, youuuuuuu redddsssss! :boxing: :scarf: :boxing:
-
How many corners we had in this half ?
-
How many corners we had in this half ?
8?

They had 1 sho on target all game and it went in ffs
-
Not clinical enough

9 now
Full time
Onwards and upwards

-

Good shot though.
Today was always going to be tricky, I think DF got it wrong unfortunately. Rochdale tonked 3-0 at home today by Blackburn, will be a tough game on Tuesday. BUT Scunny at the Keepmoat on Saturday, should be our day :scarf:
-
We move on.
-
This is gonna be a long season
-
Be useful if we started games like we finished that one
Starting line up? Formation?,
-
Too negative in the first half and not clinical in front of goal. I'm not worried because we are creating chances but staying up should be our only aim.
-
That was the most one side last 30 mins I've seen for a long time.
-
Well I hope it's a clear sign to DF which is our best XI. Don't tinker unless you have to. Ok, he was cautious with Houghton.
-
Streamed the game, very poor effort. didnt turn up.

It certainly will be our day because Scunny won't be there. :)

Every game will be hard in this league. We have Butler, Rowe Coppinger, Blair and Marquis who have played in this league before. We have to get the midfield right until that happens we will compete but not win many game. Now last season we scored most goals when Marquis and Williams played together. Tuesday night let's give them a try. Midfield of Houghton, Whiteman, Rowe and Coppinger. Back four of Mason, Wright, Butler, Garrett or Toffolo.

We haven't got the side to do better than that.

Steve I haven't got carried away I expected a finish in the bottom half and low at that
-
Williams and Marquis should be the preferred front two.
Mandy just isn't as effective as AW.
As usual, the midfield doesn't function unless Copps is out there.

We move on.
That's what Dickov used to say !

There'll be a reaction. It was a real wakeup call.
